howard's end, page-14

In keeping with the context of the openning post by Eric I seriously question your ability to reason.
You have chosen the heading for the topic and are trying to sensationalize.
You may be a pacifist and you may be green or labor (don't give a toss about the spelling) but don't state as a matter of fact something which is not true.
Preparedness is not illegal.
I also think your choice of the word is your way of indicating that Howard is doing something wrong which he isn't. If the inspectors come out and say that Saddam is complying fully and then US, GBT and Australia invade then you have a case. But until then perhaps a little less propaganda would be in order. I don't think a UN santioned attack would be accepted by your good self either Eric.
